Thank you! MotW is near the top of my list.

How accessible is it for someone who has never run PbtA? I've been wanting to get into that system for some time. Should I pick up something else with it?

Morimoto's restaurant is fantastic. Also Eggs 'n Things for breakfast.

One of my favorite things was canoe sailing. We went out to this beach where seals come out of the water to rest and the island was fun to explore.

My family loved parasailing; I didn't do it. I don't recommend the helicopter tour; it was just looking at a lot of trees and water from too far away in a really noisy machine where you couldn't talk to each other.

We saw Jurassic Park and Star Wars sets, as well as the sets for Gilligan's Island and 50 First Dates. Those were the ones I remember, but there were more.

Part of the tour takes you out in the ocean on a boat, which was nice and relaxing.

If you like movies, Kualoa Ranch is a good stop. It's this huge piece of land where a lot of famous movies were made, and a tour takes you past the sets where you can still see the big props and set pieces.

For cultural experiences, my top choices are the Iolani Palace and the Polynesian Cultural Center.

There's Pearl Harbor, which is important ofc but I didn't find it interesting. My father loves it, so ymmv.

My husband and daughter hiked Diamond Head Mtn and still rave about it.

So it really depends on how active you are, and how interested you are in seeing the culture and history of Hawaii.

My parents lived on Oahu for a few years, so I've been there twice. We didn't island hop, so I can't tell you about the other islands.

Hawaii is great!
I'm falling asleep. If I don't remember to reply tomorrow, feel free to nudge me. I'll get you some recommendations.

But I also don't want to give up the only chance I have for in-person D&D and to enjoy everyone's company.
Boo.

But I think now I need to decide between talking to the DM and just walking away. The problem is that I joined this group nearly 9 months after it formed, and clearly the DM's style is acceptable for everyone else. I don't want to insist that everyone else change for me.

Improv is absolutely important. Which do you think is harder to master?
